In Law and Intangible Cultural Heritage in the City, Sara Gwendolyn Ross, a Killam Postdoctoral Laureate Social Science Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Fellow at Peter A. Allard School of Law, illuminates urban spaces with intangible cultural value that is often overlooked unprotected. The to which Ross refers “are found on street corners, neighbourhood haunts, parks, faded basement pubs, u...

The essential components of a dynamically adaptive, parallel lattice Boltzmann method particularly tailored for coupled wind engineering are described. By utilizing a level set approach for geometry embedding the method can handle rotating and moving structures effectively and is thereby genuinely suited for fluid-structure coupling problems involving low-Mach number flows. The approach is vali...

A method is presented to characterize general sound-absorbing materials through a pole-based identification of the equivalent fluid. This accomplished by 1) determining extended fluid material sample transfer function (TFM), 2) acoustic response poles effective density and compressibility, 3) build compressibility from associated local response. Real pole pairs describe dissipative medium (or e...

The study investigates the impact of taxation on the Nigerian economy for the period 1994 -2012.The dependent variables used in the model includes: Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as a parameter for measuring economic growth, Inflation and unemployment. The objective is this study is to determine how taxation affects these macroeconomic variables. To avoid spurious results, the data set collected ...

Abstract Across a series of 10 laboratory and online studies, Allard, Hardisty, Griffin (2019) demonstrated an increased preference for premium, higher-priced products over standard when consumers were presented with the additional cost option (i.e., differential price framing; e.g., “for $20 more”) rather than its total inclusive $60 total”); phenomenon referred to as framing effect. In this p...
